// wxGDIRefData is the reference-counted data part of a GDI object.
// It contains another counter, m_usageCount, which counts the number
// of times this object has been used; e.g. in SetFont, the count
// is incremented. This is different from reference counting,
// where only the constructors, destructors and (un)clone operations
// affect the reference count.
// THIS IS NOW BEING REMOVED AS REDUNDANT AND ERROR-PRONE
